Public hearing for proposed Carolina Beach Harris Teeter set for Tuesday night

Carolina Beach Town Council will hold a public hearing at its meeting Tuesday night for a proposed Harris Teeter on Pleasure Island.

BBM Associates in Raleigh, the engineering group representing the grocery store, is applying for a conditional use permit to build what will initially be a 53,288-square-foot store at 1000 and 1010 N. Lake Park Blvd. They are also asking for an extra 5,480 square feet for future expansion.

Rather than anchoring a strip mall like most other Harris Teeter locations, this store would be stand-alone and feature a cafe, a pharmacy with a drive-thru window and a separate on-site fuel center.
